Thailand’s Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) has arrested a Thai businessman who allegedly cheated a Florida-based company out of about 184 million baht in a failed medical glove deal.

 

Commissioner of Central Investigation Bureau Pol Lt-Gen Chiraphop Phuridet said today (Wednesday) that the businessman, whose name was not disclosed, was apprehended by CPPD police following a complaint received from the US firm, which reportedly transferred the money to the Thai company as an advance payment for the supply of an unspecified quantity of medical gloves.

 

He said that the American company had asked for the return of its advance payment, but the demand was rejected.

The money in that initial case went to a Taiwanese and to a Taiwan bank account the guy said in the interview.

I bet you they didn’t arrest the owner of the company just some lower level employee TIT

They are likely only acting because it's an American company. No action would lead to repercussions. France and Hong Kong are barely mentioned.
